The association between vesicle-associated membrane protein - 8 A/G gene polymorphism and the risk of acute myocardial infarction

Results: A total of 35 controls and 97 acute myocardial infarction patients from our Hospital during the period were enrolled for our study. Our results found that VAMP-8 A/G gene polymorphism was not associated with the risk of acute myocardial infarction. Moreover, we also failed to confer the association between VAMP-8 A/G gene polymorphism and both smoking and hypertension among patients with acute myocardial infarction. Furthermore, in the setting of premature acute myocardial infarction, the correlation also failed to confirm. Conclusion: In our population, there is no association between VAMP-8 A/G gene polymorphism and the risk of acute myocardial infarction.
